On Ethereum, front runners wait for the pool of unconfirmed transactions (mempool) which provides some insights on decentralized transactions. This piece examines the pros and the cons of front running in Ethereum. Attacks via front running are mostly based on the order of transactions.

According to Dan Robinson and Georgios Konstantopoulos, because of the rise in decentralized exchanges (DEXs), there?s a flaw in Ethereum?s design (maybe due to eagerness to deploy).
